Aggregate Base Course (Crusher Run)

Aggregate Base Course - Crusher Run

Aggregate Base Course with a Crusher Run attribute is a blend of crushed stone and stone dust, engineered to create a stable, compactable base layer for construction projects. Produced by mechanically crushing larger rocks, this material features a mix of angular stone fragments and fine particles, which interlock tightly when compacted.




The Crusher Run attribute is key: the presence of fines (stone dust) fills voids between the larger stones, resulting in excellent compaction and load-bearing capacity. This makes it ideal for use as a sub-base beneath roads, driveways, parking lots, patios, and walkways, as well as under concrete slabs and pavers. Its ability to compact firmly helps prevent shifting and settling, providing a long-lasting foundation. While its dense composition offers superior stability, it is less permeable than clean stone, so it is not recommended for drainage applications. Overall, Aggregate Base Course - Crusher Run is a reliable, cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial base layers.
